We're used to seeing many automakers adapt several of their models into EVs and hybrids, a new rumor first reported by Polish car news site moto.pl is claiming that Mercedes may roll out a diesel version of the SLS AMG. We may even see it arrive as early as the Paris Motor Show this September. The best part? Power could come in the form of a triple turbocharged six-cylinder diesel with 400 horsepower.
For Mercedes to jump into the game with a diesel-powered version their halo model would not only be incredible, but it also makes a decent business case considering the company's two main domestic rivals are already ahead of them in this realm.Sound strange to you? Then consider for a moment that Audi had its own plans for a diesel R8 (which it ultimately shelved). Mercedes, for its part, already showcased the electric-powered SLS AMG E-Cell concept (pictured here) that may go into production next year.
